WHY IS AERATION IMPORTANT?
Waterlogging is one of the biggest problems facing your pitch. Effective aeration helps to maintain a free draining surface and takes care of issues such as compaction which can take their toll on your turf. With regular and seasonal care, your playing surfaces can last for longer and help you avoid expensive upkeep. If you don’t want standing surface water to affect your fixtures, call Evolutions Developments & Groundworks Ltd.
WHEN’S THE BEST TIME TO AERATE SPORTS TURF?
The best time to aerate is during the spring and autumn. These are the growing seasons for grass and produce the best results. Aeration can also be done in summer, however be aware that dry, compacted soil will be more difficult to penetrate. Don’t wait until your sports turf’s waterlogged. Contact Evolutions Developments & Groundworks Ltd in Amersham and the South East.
Sports turf aeration is a maintenance practice commonly employed on athletic fields, sports pitches such as football, rugby and cricket or golf courses to improve soil structure, enhance water infiltration, and promote healthy turf growth.
One of the primary benefits of sports turf aeration is the reduction of soil compaction. Constant foot traffic, equipment usage, and intense sports activities can lead to soil compaction, which hinders proper water infiltration, air circulation, and root growth. By aerating the turf, the compacted soil is loosened, allowing the roots to penetrate deeper and access vital nutrients and water.
Another advantage of aeration is improved drainage. Heavy rain or over-irrigation can result in waterlogged fields, leading to poor playing conditions and potential damage to the turf. Aeration helps create channels that facilitate the movement of water through the soil profile, preventing surface water accumulation and ensuring efficient drainage.
